Store Closure Watch

Regional Deep Dive

Every closure in your metro — with the owner's mailing address and whether a new business is already licensed at the address

A paid report for one metro: every closure we hold there, plus a public-records property and contact layer on top. Built for CRE brokers and landlords, liquidators and fixture dealers, lenders and special servicers, and economic development and community organizations.

What's in it

On top of every tracked closure in the metro, each location carries the layers below where the public record exists.

Property owner of record
The owner's name and mailing address from the county assessor — who to contact about the space, not just where it is.
Closing tenant entity
The closing business's legal entity and its license status (active, cancelled) from city business-license records.
New tenant already licensed?
Whether a new business is already licensed at the address — so you skip the spaces that are effectively taken.
Permits since the announcement
Building permits filed at the address after the closure was announced — early signal of what's happening to the space.
Trade-area demographics
Census demographics for the surrounding area, for siting, lending, and civic decisions.

Public records only

Every field is a public record reproduced as published by the issuing agency — the county assessor, city business-license and permit offices, and the U.S. Census. No data-vendor content and no mapping-provider content. That means you can share the report freely inside your organization — no per-seat licensing, no redistribution restrictions.

Example: Chicago, August 2026

A real deep dive. The statistics are exact; every identifying detail is masked here — the report itself carries the values.

What your metro supports

Each layer comes from what the county and city publish. Owner of record needs an open parcel roll; tenant entity and re-tenanting need open business licences; permits need an open permit feed. Chicago has all four. Before you pay, we tell you which layers your metro supports.

Coverage

Metros with the county assessor feed already wired. Others take one to two days to add — ask.
